Tag: how to thicken stretched lobes

Every winter I forget how uncomfortable my stretched ears can be when the temperatures drop! They get sore, tight, and itchy. And they get cold so easily.

I started stretching my ears when I was 16, which was 18 years ago. That’s more than half of my life! I stretched my ears to 1″ about 12 years ago, and I’ve been at that size ever since. Ten years ago I got my conches punched at 8mm/0g, and that’s the size of jewelry that I wear currently. I am originally from the midwest and live on the east coast now, so I am no stranger to taking care of stretched ears in the winter.

I’ve put together a list of things that you can do to make your stretched ears more comfortable in cold weather, based on my experience.
